Thanks Poet. I value your impressions. You know, your posts reminds me some of how many of us struggle with accepting a compliment gracefully. I know I tend to immediately minimize it or point out some other flaw/weakness in response.
I wonder if there's a similar feeling about feeling good about progress in a way. Is it such habit for us to blow right by that and to look at what's "still wrong", like you mentioned, that we don't stop to appreciate where we're at? Of course, I also worry whether it's even real or if I'm just trying to convince myself, sometimes. You know, self-doubt really stinks.
Sorry to go off into a pondering...but thought-provoking is good. Thanks!
I'm glad your T helps you counter the negatives. That can be so painful to think all the time. And I can say without reservation that I *positively* loved meeting you in person and found you to be *positively* darling. :)
Thanks,
